Central Processing Unit: CPUThe mainboard supports Single/Dual Intel® Pentium III processors.

The mainboard uses two CPU sockets called Socket 370 for easy CPUinstallation. You can install SINGLE or DUAL CPUs on the board to meetyour own needs. Keep the following points in mind before installing CPU(s):

If SINGLE CPU is intended, always install the CPU on the CPU1socket.

To install DUAL CPUs on the board, you must use the same typeof CPUs running at the same FSB frequency.

When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a HeatSink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you donot find the Heat Sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase andinstall them before turning on the computer.

The mainboard provides 4 sockets for 184-pin DDR DIMM (Double In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports a maximum memory size of 4GB.

Memory

DDR DIMM Slots(DIMM 1~4)

Introduction to DDR SDRAMYou can install PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM modules on the DDR

DIMM slots (DIMM 1~4).DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM,

but doubles the rate by transfering data twice per cycle. It transfers data onboth the rising and falling edges of the clock. Conventional SDRAM onlyuses the rising edge of the clock to transfer data. Therefore, conventionalSDRAM is called SDR (Single Data Rate) SDRAM.

DDR SDRAM uses 2.5 volts as opposed to 3.3 volts used in SDRSDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168-pin DIMMmodules used by SDR SDRAM. DDR SDRAM is also known as SDRAM-II,DDR DRAM and DSDRAM (Double-Speed DRAM).

Two types of DDR are available at the time of writing: PC1600 & PC2100.PC1600 DDR SDRAM running at 100MHz will produce about 1.6GB/s memorybandwidth. PC2100 running at 133MHz will produce 2.1GB/s memorybandwidth. High memory bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for highperformance PC, workstations and servers.

Chapter 2

2-6

DIMM Modules CombinationAt least one DIMM module should be installed on the motherboard.

Memory modules can be installed on the slots in any order. The single-/double-sided memory modules that each DIMM slot supports are listed asbelow:

S: Single Side D: Double Side

Socket Memory Module Total Memory DIMM 1 (Bank0 & Bank1)

S/D 64MB ~ 1GB

DIMM 2 (Bank2 & Bank3)

Maximum System Memory Supported 64MB ~ 4GB

1. The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. Themodule will only fit in the right orientation.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot.Then push it in.

3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automaticallyclose.

activity of the specified IRQ line will pre-vent the system from entering power sav-ing modes or awaken it from power savingmodes.

Note: IRQ (Interrupt Request) lines are system resources allocated toI/O devices. When an I/O device needs to gain attention of the operat-ing system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. After receivingthe signal, when the operating system is ready, the system will inter-rupt itself and perform the service required by the I/O device.

PnP/PCI Configurations

PNP OS InstalledWhen set to YES, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for booting(VGA, IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operat-ing system like Windows® 95 or 98. When set to NO, BIOS will initialize allthe PnP cards. So, select Yes if the operating system is Plug & Play aware.

Reset Configuration DataThe ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) is a method that the BIOSuses to store resource information for both PNP and non PNP devices in abit string format. When Enabled, the system will rebuild ESCD and you willsee the message “ESCD Update Successfully” on boot up.

PCI/VGA Palette SnoopPCI VGA palette is the set of colors currently used by the video device.Some special VGA cards may not show colors correctly and need to lookinto the video device’s VGA palette to determine what colors are in use.

Frequency/Voltage Control

Auto Detect DIMM/PCI ClkThis item is used to auto detect the DIMM/PCI slots. When set to Enabled,the system will remove (turn off) clocks from empty DIMM/PCI slots tominimize the electromagnetic interference (EMI). Settings: Enabled andDisabled.

Spread SpectrumWhen the motherboard clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes)of the pulses creates EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The SpreadSpectrum function reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses sothat the spikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter curves. If you do nothave any EMI problem, leave the setting at Disabled for optimal systemstability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI, setting to En-abled for EMI reduction. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you areoverclocking because even a 0.25% jitter can introduce a temporary boost inclock speed of 25MHz (with a 1GHz CPU) which may just cause youroverclocked processor to lock up.
